2026 NFL Mock Draft

The Dolphins looked like the worst team in the NFL in Week 1, and part of that was Tua Tagovailoa’s incompetence. I don’t know if it’s because of all the concussions he’s suffered over the years, but Tagovailoa didn’t look like a viable player in the NFL. Perhaps he’ll turn things around, but it doesn’t seem as though he will. Miami will likely have to draft a new franchise quarterback.

LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.

Pick change; previously Xavier Chaplin, OT

The Saints used a second-round pick on Tyler Shough, but if they have the No. 1 or 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Shough most likely will have performed poorly. Either way, the Saints wouldn’t pass on a generational quarterback.

Garrett Nussmeier has great arm talent and has made the most out of his opportunity replacing Jayden Daniels.

The Titans have a poor defense. They lost Harold Landry, so they’ll need to replace him.

T.J. Parker had a breakout sophomore campaign. He has impressive instincts and was very productive.

The Panthers have severe issues generating pressure on the quarterback. They need help at defensive tackle and the edge rush.

Keldric Faulk has been a monster for Auburn. He has a great mix of power and speed on the edge.

The Giants have some poor play in the secondary that they’ll need to address soon.

Domani Jackson had a disappointing start to his collegiate career, but has the upside to meet expectations.

Will the Browns finally take a chance on a quarterback? Perhaps if one is available, but that’s not the case in this update. Instead, they can draft a left tackle to replace Jedrick Wills.

Xavier Chaplin has massive size and great movement skills for such a big offensive lineman.

Pick change; previously LaNorris Sellers, QB

New England’s offensive line is in rough shape. Lots of help is needed to protect Drake Maye. We just saw two teams – Jets, Saints – draft tackles in consecutive years, and New England could do the same.

Kayden Proctor is a colossal, 360-pound blocker. He has great potential, but has some character concerns.

The Seahawks could stand to bolster their linebacker corps so they can finally find someone to cover George Kittle.

Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career.

Pick change; previously Matayo Uiagalelei, DE

Will Jerry Jones finally draft a running back? Will he learn Micah Parsons’ first name? So many questions in Dallas.

Jeremiyah Love is a powerful, downhill runner with plus receiving ability.

The Jets missed out on both first-round quarterbacks, so they could upgrade their receivers instead.

Denzel Boston is a huge receiver with big-play potential.

The younger brother of A.J. Terrell, Avieon Terrell is a very instinctive cornerback who plays bigger than his 5-foot-11 size.

Tre’von Moehorig is gone, so the Raiders will need to find some help at safety.

Caleb Downs projects as one of the top play-making safeties in the NFL in several years.

Pick change; previously Keon Sabb, S

Even if Will Johnson pans out, the Cardinals will need another cornerback to go with him and Garrett Williams.

Jermod McCoy is an instinctive cornerback who tackles well.

The Colts have a big weakness in the middle of their defense, both at linebacker and safety.

Keon Sabb has been a tough defender for Alabama and Michigan.

Pick change; previously Caleb Downs, S

The Browns could use a better bookend for Myles Garrett and a future replacement for him.

Matayo Uiagalelei has great size, strength, and athleticism. He’s been very productive at Oregon.

Pick change; previously Isaiah World, OT

The Bengals have severe issues throughout their defense, so taking the best player on that side of the ball makes sense.

Peter Woods is a disruptive interior lineman.
